Special Award to St. George’s

by 1 Comment

We are pleased to announce that St. George’s has received the 2026 Michael Allen Hoffman Award for “significant contributions to historic preservation in the Commonwealth of Virginia.” The Council of Virginia Archaeologists (CoVA) recognized St. George’s for the archaeological work conducted as part of our Open to All in Love construction project. Our project partners at Mead & Hunt nominated us for this prestigious honor.

In their nomination, they wrote:

“This nomination is to honor and highlight the incredible work that has been sponsored by St. George’s as they seek to learn more about their property and understand their extremely long and rich role in Fredericksburg’s past.”

Our Open to All in Love Project Manager, Laurel Loch attended the CoVA awards banquet to accept the award on St. George’s behalf. Many of the professional archaeologists attending expressed their enthusiasm for our project and expressed gratitude for our commitment and support of archaeology. Thank you, St. Georgians for your generous support of this project and for helping uncover and share our history with others.

Youth Service Week Concludes at Juneteenth!

by Leave a Comment

Just a brief while after the disciples began to follow Jesus, he took them aside and said—you all are now going to go and do the same things I have been doing. You will be the ones performing wonders, you will be the ones restoring the forsaken to dignity, you will be the ones to declare that God has good news to share, you’ll be the ones to turn the world upside down. I have to imagine they felt unprepared!

The Disciples had begun to follow Jesus because they wanted to know what amazing things he would do. Jesus called them to be his disciples to show them what amazing things they would do, to call them to transform the world.

This past week young people from St George’s followed the call of Jesus to live out their faith as disciples—to restore dignity, feed the hungry, heal a hurting world, and declare good news. Because of the hard work of our young people during Youth Service Week, we moved one step closer to realizing the vision of the Jeremiah Community as part of our shared ministry at Micah, neighbors received locally and organically grown produce harvested by our youth at the Rappahannock Education Farm, and we practiced what it means to be Beloved Community by volunteering at the 2026 Juneteenth Celebrations.

The world has need of faithful Christians, God has need of faithful Christians, and I am glad that as a church St George’s has committed to raise up empowered young people, covenanted to grow in our own faith and discipleship alongside them, and has decidedly answered the call of Jesus to turn the world upside down.
